WARNING: Yes, it's definitely a virus. I saved HAPPY99.EXE to my desktop
without opening it and it locked up my computer immediately. After a half of
dozen tries, my computer would NOT boot. It would lock up after loading Win95.
FIX: I had to go into SAFE MODE and delete the virus, HAPPY.EXE from my
desktop.
BE CAREFUL.
Why the hell would LARS BUDENSEN knowingly spread a virus??? ......VERY FUNNY
LARS...
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!???!
